In recent years, Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is considered as a potential solution for home automation because of its reliability, low-cost, low-power consuming characteristics. Several researches have been carried out using WSN for home automation, however most studies have been experimented in small houses or in one storey of a building. There has been little discussion about design and implementation of WSN automation system in multi-storey buildings. This paper describes a practical design and implementation of WSN for controlling and monitoring system in multi-storey building. A building automation system using Micochip ZigBee WSN was developed and set up in the International University (IU) building for system evaluation. The performance results confirm that Micochip ZigBee WSN based home automation system is practically applicable in multi-storey building environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
